What is a safe car?

The vehicle you select plays a crucial role in ensuring your safety and that of others around you. To gauge how effectively your car can protect you and others, check its safety ratings—more stars signify a safer vehicle.

When shopping for a car, never compromise on safety. Safe Cars employs safety rating systems based on crash tests and real-world data, helping you easily discover the safest cars that fit your budget.

The safety ratings

In Australia the level of safety a car provides is assessed and then identified through star rating systems known as Used Car Safety Ratings (UCSR) and the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). Read more about how they test and measure vehicle safety ratings.
